>>> IT’S A NEW MOVIE BEING DESCRIBED AS BOTH HEART WARMING
AND HILARIOUS.
AND HILARIOUS. IT’S CALLED INSTANT FAMILY,
ABOUT A FAMILY THAT ADOPTS THREE
KIDS AT ONCE.
IT STARS MARK WAL BURG, ROSE
BURN AND OCTAVIA SPENCER.
>> CURTIS JONES AND ACTRESS
LINDSAY PRICE WORK FOR A CROWD
FUNDING FOR PEOPLE THAT NEED
FINANCIAL HELP.
FINANCIAL HELP. >> WHO BETTER TO SIT DOWN WITH
THE FILM’S DIRECTOR?
>> LOOK AT THE BIG KIDS.
>> Reporter: AN INSTANT FAMILY,
MARK WAHLBERG AND ROSE BURN
DECIDE TO ADOPT CHILDREN.
>> THERE ARE SO MANY KIDS IN
FOSTER CARE.
FOSTER CARE. THEY’RE HAVING AN ORIENTATION.
>> PEOPLE WHO TAKE IN FOSTER
CARE ARE SPECIAL AND VOLUNTEER
WHEN IT’S NOT EVEN A HOLIDAY.
WE DON’T EVEN VOLUNTEER ON A
HOLIDAY.
HOLIDAY. >> THE REBELLIOUS TEEN THEY
DECIDE TO ADOPT.
WITH SOCIAL WORKERS WHO GIVE
THEM SOME SURPRISING NEWS.
>> LINDSAY COMES WITH TWO
YOUNGER SIBLINGS.
YOUNGER SIBLINGS. >> THREE CHILDREN.
>> OH, TWO MAYBE, BUT THERE IS
NO WAY WE CAN DO THREE.
WE WANTED TO MEET THEM.
OH MY GOSH.
WHY WOULD YOU SHOW US THAT IS
THIS THEY’RE SO CUTE.
THAT’S WRONG.
THAT’S WRONG. >> IT’S ALL BASED ON A REAL LIFE
EXPERIENCE OF A DIRECTOR.
"INSTANT FAMILY" WAS INSPIRED BY
YOUR OWN STORY.
DID IT START OUT AS A JOKE?
>> IT DID, EXACTLY THE SAME WAY
IN THE MOVIE.
I MADE A STUPID JOKE AND SAID
WHY DON’T WE ADOPT A
FIVE-YEAR-OLD LIKE I DID CRACK
FIVE YEARS AGO.
MY WIFE RAN WITH THAT?
>> DID MARK GIVE YOU MATERIAL?
>> WE OBSERVED SOME THINGS HERE
OR THERE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT
HAVE MADE IT INTO THE SCRIPT.
>> YEAH, THERE IS A LOT GOING
ON.
ON. WHENEVER I’M NOT THERE, I STILL
GET THE CALL TO KIND OF BE PUT
IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ARGUMENT OR
A DISPUTE BETWEEN MY WIFE AND MY
DAUGHTER.
DAUGHTER. OUTSIDE THE HOUSE, I NEVER GET A
WORD IN.
WORD IN. >> HA, HA, HA HA HA.
>> THAT WAS RIGHT OUT AT THE
BOWLING ALLEY.
BOWLING ALLEY. A CRISIS GOING ON.
>> SO ANY PARTICULAR EXPERIENCES
YOU WERE DRAWING FROM?
>> ALL OF US HAVE GREAT ACCESS
TO THE EMOTIONAL LIFE.
IT’S LIKE, I LOOKED AT HIM
SOMETIMES, HOW DID YOU JUST DO
THAT?
THAT? LIKE FROM HAPPY TO JUST FULL ON,
IT’S AMAZING THE ROLLER COASTER.
YOU CAN SEE.
>> MINE ARE FUN.
>> THEY’RE FUN.
>> YOU TELL YOUR STORY.
>> THAT IS IT.
THAT’S ALL I GOT.
I GOT TO.
I GOT TO. >> BEST OF LUCK.
>> FOR OCTAVIA SPENCER, THE
STORY WAS --
>> I WAS ON THE FENCE WHETHER OR
NOT I WANTED TO OPEN MY HOME TO
KID.
KID. IT WAS LIKE THERE IS THIS DIVINE
MESSAGE BEING BROUGHT FORTH FROM
THIS PROJECT.
THIS PROJECT. SO I LITERALLY KNEW THE MOMENT
THEY READ IT THAT I WANTED TO DO
IT.
IT. >> HOW DO YOU THINK THIS STORY
BEING SO PERSONAL TO SEAN
IMPACTED THE FILM?
>> IT’S MAKING A MOVIE ABOUT
SOMETHING THAT’S FAR MORE
IMPORTANT THAN WHAT YOU ARE
ACCOMPLISHING.
ACCOMPLISHING. EVERYBODY IS THERE TO SERVE THIS
VIDEO.
VIDEO. IT BECAME MUCH MORE OF A FAMILY.
>> IT WAS MY FAVORITE JOB, THAT
I WORKED ON.
IT’S ONE OF THOSE EXPERIENCES
THAT YOU REALLY HOPE CAN YOU
MATCH.
MATCH. >> I SAW ON INSTAGRAM THAT MARK
KIND OF BECAME LIKE A WORKOUT
GURU.
GURU. IS THAT TRUE?
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> HOW IS THAT GOING?
>> WAIT, WAIT, MARK GOES TO THE
GYM?
GYM? >> HE HAS ONE IN HIS ROOM.
>> IT WAS SO SWEET.
BECAUSE I KIND OF STALKED HIS
INSTAGRAM BEFORE WE EVER STARTED
WORKING TOGETHER AND I SAW THAT
EGOT UP AT 4:00 IN THE MORNING.
I JUST THOUGHT, THIS TRUE?
AND I WAS GOING TO ASK HIM ABOUT
IT?
IT? THEN I THOUGHT, NO, NOT GOING TO
ASK HIM ABOUT IT.
>> TRUTH BE TOLD, ALL THE
ATHLETES, ACTORS, VARIOUS PEOPLE
ARE LIKE, HEY, I’M COMING TO THE
GYM TO WORK OUT.
NOBODY SHOWED UP.
SHE SAYS, HEY, DO YOU MIND IF I
COME WORK OUT?
YEAH, NEXT DAY THE PHONE IS
RINGING AT 2:30 IN THE MORNING.
HEY, I’M HERE.
I’M LIKE, WHERE?
BUT SHE’S AT THE HOUSE.
SHE’S A MACHINE.
SHE’S INSPIRING SO MANY PEOPLE.
SHE’S ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
>> DID SHE WAKE YOU UP?
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> REALLY?
>> REALLY? >> I’M NOT READY FOR THAT.
>> IN THE MOVIE ISABELLA PLAYS A
REBELLIOUS TEEN.
REBELLIOUS TEEN. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS THE MOST
REBELLIOUS THING ANY OF YOU DID
AS A TEENAGER?
>> YEP.
>> YEP. YEP.
YEP. >> I THINK IT WAS WHEN I STARTED
HOME SCHOOLING, I DIDN’T LIKE
IT.
IT. LIKE I WANTED TO BE WITH MY
FRIENDS STILL.
FRIENDS STILL. I WAS PROBABLY 14 I THINK.
AND SO I TRIED TO SNEAK OUT
SEVERAL TIMES.
SEVERAL TIMES. I TROOID TIED MY PANTS TOGETHER
AND I WAS ON THE 2nd FLOOR AND
THREW THEM OUT THE WINDOW, LIKE
THEY DO IN THE MOICHLTS I
THOUGHT IT WOULD WORK.
IT DIDN’T.
IT DIDN’T. >> HOW DO YOU THINK AUDIENCES
WILL REACT TO THIS MOVIE?
>> I THINK LIT CHANGE SO MANY
PEOPLE’S LIVES.
PEOPLE’S LIVES. IT’S REALLY EXCITEDING EXCITING.
I CAN’T WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT.
